Japanese art???

[seazoner]

Well I've been searching for the past few days to try to learn how to get into the whole traditional japanese art thing. I've seen it before and it just looks amazing when done well. I couldn't find any information on how to get started. If anyone has any tips or info it would be greatly appreciated.

Go to Japan and get a first hand experience on what art you want to focus on...

Absolutely. As a matter of fact, if you are not currently Japanese, turning Japanese is probably the only way to be Japanese.
